strong group of Seniors. The group of seniors included captains Izzi
Geltman and Katie Thai. Emily Wu, Victoria Ung, Tamana Bhangu, Nafisa
Thorpe and Alexis Ramanjulu also led the way with their leadership and
strong play throughout the season. Izzi Geltman and Emily Wu ended the
year with Honorable Mention All League Honors.
